You'll be hitting the 700 mark soon ricky.. Just get that D1 jacked up and get the magic Bluecat tune. And if you're not there then, just pile the N20 on it..

Not trying to Hijack or anything.... but from what I gather with a built 402 or 408, and lets say an F1A, on pump gas with out meth. It's possible to make around 800+? and at what boost would we be looking at?

Ricky be conservative with timing since you are not running meth and are running 9.8:1 compression based on your other posts.

I'm running 19/20 degrees of timing at WOT but I'm 8:1.

The larger cubes you go the more power your going to make off boost and if your compression ratio is set up right (say between 8.5-9:1) with a good set of heads then 800 rwhp can be done on pump gas. You will just need a real good tune. I would say a forged 408 iron block with AFR 225's/TFS 235's/ETP 235's and an F1A pushing 16-17psi or so you would be in that realm.
